Cleidocranial Dysplasiasyndrome isknown by different names such as Marie Sainton syndrome, Mutational Dysostosis, Cleidocranial Dysostosis and Dysostosis Cleidocranialis (1)Cleidocranial Dysplasia was described for the first time in the 19thcentury by Gustav Scheuthauer, Pierre Marie and Paul Sainton(2, 3) who reported the two most striking manifestations, viz. the hypo- or aplastic clavicles and the abnormal, excessive number of teeth ran ging up to 70 teeth in some cases(4).cases from the whole world with a wideSince then, over 1000 range of clinical manifestations have been documented in medical literature(5-7). In many medical references the abbreviation (CCD), which will be also used often in this research, has been used to describe this genetic disease. In 1908 the Swedish physician Hultkranz described this as ‘quatermoon’ physiognomy: ‘The nasion-alveolar line appears more up right than usual ( … ) if a protruding forehead and the strong prognathic mandible is added, the result is a concave facial profile, a quatermoon physiognomy’(8). Cleidocranial Dysplasia isaplasia or hypoplasia of the clavicles, notable for characteristic craniofacial malformations, and the presence of numerous supernumerary and unerupted or impacted teeth(9)Other clinical hallmarks of CCD include delayed or failure in the closure of cranial fontanels and sutures, in addition to other skeletal anomalies. Thus, CCD is no t limited to the craniofacial region; it is defined by many medical references as a generalized dysplasia and skeletal disorder of the entire skeletal system(10, 11) .It is considered to be a rare genetic defect affecting ma inly the membranous bone formation, with an incidence estimated at 1: 200,000 live births(5) and a prevalence of 1: 1,000,000(12), affecting in most cases the skull and the clavicles. However, the prevalence of affecting other parts of the skeleton is still high.

Cleidocranial Dysplasia transmitted by an autosomal-dominant mode of is inheritance with high penetrance and a different degree of expressivity affecting both skeletal and dental systems(13, 14)recessive form of this syndrome has. A been reported in two families. About one third of the cases show different and new mutations. The frequency ofCleidocranial Dysplasia almost the same among is males and females; and there is also no racial predilection. Studies involving large population groups in South Af rica have localized the origin of this disorder to the short arm of chromosome 6p21 an d confirmed that the transcription factor(Runx2)isthe causative factor of this genetic disorder(15, 16) .Most patients with this disorder are of normal intelligence(9),and until now there are no studies supporting any relation between CCD and a low IQ level. Many patients treated in the orthodontic clinic of Regensburg University Hospital, showed good intelligence and, in some cases managerial, work positions. Intramembranous and endochondral bones in the skull are primary affected, resulting in a sagittally diminished cranial base, transverse enlargement of the calvarium, and delayed closure of the fontanels and sutu res(17, 18). Late closure of fontanels is also considered as a common pathological fea ture of other syndromes, such as Basal cell nevus syndrome and Crouzon’s syndrome (Craniofacial syndrome), but together with other chara cteristic features, Cleidocranial Dysplasiacan be easily differentially diagnosed(5, 9)The biparietal and frontal bossing and the extension of the cranial vault result from the hydrocephalic pressure exerted on unossified regions o f the skull, especially the fontanel areas. The deficiency or complete absence of the clavicles is responsible for the characteristic long appearance of the neck and the narrow shoulders. In general, the special facial appearance of CCD is a result of the underdeveloped and abnormal middle third of the face combined with the abnormalities in the dental alveolar complex(9, 17)Many studies have supported the idea that delayed or failed eruption of the teeth is associated with a lack of cellular cementum. This failure of cementum formation is thought to be a direct result of the mechanical resistance to eruption due to dense alveolar bone overlying the unerupted teeth. On other hand, it has been

hypothesized, that the formation of supernumerary tee th might be due to incomplete or severely delayed resorption of the dental lamina which is reactivated at the time of crown completion of the normal permane nt dentition(9).However,until now there is no definitive explanation for this phenomenon. The clinical appearance ofCleidocranial Dysplasiaincludes very characteristic and distinct features that make this syndrome very pathognom onic(Fig.1). In general, the patients show a mildly to moderately shortened sta ture, with the neck appearing elongated and narrow and the shoulders marke dly drooped or at least oblique at 45o, which results from absent or malformed clavicles(9).About 10% of CCD patients have been recorded to show complete failure in the formation of the clavicles.1 2 Hypermobilityofthe shoulders,3 which is very characteristic of 4 CCD patients, is a result of complete or partial absence of clavicular calcification, with Extra-oral photos of 19 years old patient with CCD associated muscular defects.syndrome, who is being treated in the Orthodontic and Maxillofacial Surgery clinic in Regensburg University This enables the patients toHospital.(A) somehow large head with broad Shows show variable levels ofbased nose and poorly developed middle face.(B) f CCD:1. r forehead, ent approximation of the shoulders2e,dgribsserpeDlasande.lefialharlmoksSswohorp3.,yyhllrasaapimoopnlipxiMa4. 7, 19) in the anterior plane(1.Mandibularprogeniewithprominentchin. The head is large and brachycephalic with a persistent me topic (frontal) suture(20). Most patients show pronounced frontal, parietal, and occipital bossing. The facial bones and paranasal sinuses are hypoplastic or aplastic, giving the face a small and short appearance. The nose is also affected. CCD pa tients show a broad based nose, with a depressed nasal bridge. Ocular hypertelorism had been recorded for this syndrome(21)(Fig.1). In general, the entire skeleton can be affected, with defects of the pelvis, long bones, and long fingers. Hemivertebrae and posterior wedging of the thoracic

Note that most of the skeletal system may be affected with different defects; however, the severity of these defects is still highly variable. The areas with dark shading represent the sites most frequently affected with cleidocranial dysplas iamutational symptoms of high severity. Regions like the clavicles, cranial sutures, dentofacial complex and pelvis, with black shading, in most cases show a severe degree of defects and deformations. On other hand, areas with light shading like the thoracic, vertebral column and the carpal and tarsal may show mild symptoms or, in some cases, may not show any form of deformations or functional The underdeveloped (hypoplastic) maxilla leads to a re latively prognathic appearance of the mandible. However, some patients ma y exhibit different degrees of real or true mandibular prognathism, due t o a considerable increase of lower jaw length in relation to a short cranial base. In most cases, the palate is narrow and highly arched, and there is an increased in cidence of submucosal median clefts(Fig.3).

Complete or partial clefts of the palate, which may involve both the hard and soft tissues, have also been diagnosed in many cases. In the lo wer jaw, delayed closure of the mandibular symphysis was reported by Scully and Cawson(20). However, complete nonunion of the symphysis of the mand ible was also found in some CCD patients(9).The development, maturation, and eruption of the primary teeth are mostly normal. However, an extreme delay in the process of normal and expected root resorption of primary teeth occurs, which results in prolonged retention and late exfoliation of deciduous dentition. The physiologic eruption of the permanent Photo of the same patient in Intra-oral nd in maFigure [1], same age also, demonstrating a dentition is severely delayed, a nysubmucosal median palatinal cleft. patients more than half of the teeth fail to erupt(19).Adult individuals withCleidocranial Dysplasia who show a mixed dentition (both primary and permanent teeth) in their oral cavity are a very common observation Unerupted or retained supernumerary teeth are often present in all regions of both jaws, and mostly look like the premolars(9) As many as 63 unerupted . supernumerary teeth were documented in one patient(25). These teeth develop by the time of completion of normal crown formation in the permanent dentition, just lingually and occlusally to the normal unerupted crown . In general, one supernumerary tooth per normal tooth is noted on average. Severe malocclusion and crowding is often a characteristic d ental finding in patients with this congenital syndrome. Many factors contribute to the malocclusion including over-retention of the deciduous (p rimary) teeth, failure of eruption of the permanent teeth, presence of numerous supernumerary teeth and maxillary hypoplasia. In most cases, this type of malocclu sion poses a real challenge in orthodontic practice(9). The incidence of twisted roots, malformed crowns and dentigerous cysts is also significantly elevated i n CCD patients(20) .

INTRODUCTION # $ Radiography is considered a very important diagnostic tool to confirm the diagnosis ofCleidocranial DysplasiaIt reveals the various abnormalities of the. craniofacial region, dentition, clavicles, and pelvis. Ra diographs of the skull classically exhibit patent fontanels and wormian bones, broad and anomalous cranial sutures, in addition to underdeveloped paranasa l sinuses. The clavicles may be hypoplastic, unilaterally or bilaterally appearing as small fragments attached to the sternum process, or may be completely a bsent (aplastic). The mandible and maxilla contain many unerupted and supernumerary teeth which are often malpositioned and distributed in different areas of the jaws(24). Such dental findings can be easy distinguished by orthopantomogram ( OPG)(Fig.4).
